Mother of the schoolgirl requires to cancel homework

The dream of millions of school children has come true in the familyAmerican writer Bunmi Laditan. She banned her 10-year-old daughter from doing homework. "My child finished homework. I just sent a letter to the school where I wrote about it, "Bunmi said on the Facebook page, and then explained why:" My daughter likes to learn. She reads 10-12 books a year, constantly studying something new (now she is carried away by the life of wolves). She takes coding lessons, loves painting. But the last four years the daughter is constantly on her nerves - because of the school. She has insomnia, chest pains, and in general a wild fear of the school. "According to Bunmi, her daughter spends in the classroom from 8 am to 4 pm - a full eight-hour day. But after returning home, the girl spends 2-3 hours on homework: "Maybe family time does not matter now? Maybe schoolchildren can no longer be at least a little children, spend time at home, relax. Or my daughter should become a small workaholic in her 10 years? "- resents Bunmi. She is, by the way, the author of books on child psychology, so she approached the matter seriously - she learned how to teach children in other countries.A photo: Facebook / BunmiKLaditan "Do you know that homework is banned in Finland? At the same time they have the highest percentage of graduates, who after school immediately go to universities. Children do not need to sit for hours on their homework to achieve success, - says the writer. "They need a little pobazdelnichat - just like us, adults, after a day's work, play with their brothers and sisters, talk with their parents heart to heart. And just enjoy your childhood every day, and not just on weekends (although my daughter has to do homework on Sunday). "According to Bunmi, if the school punishes her child for not doing lessons, she will transfer her daughter to home schooling. Although for a working mother who also has two young children, this is not the best option. "Perhaps I and the other parents will join the group, we will hire our tutors for our children," she said. Bunmi says: it does not matter, it does not matter whether her child is in Harvard. If only my daughter grew up educated, she lived in harmony with herself, was kind, sympathetic, inspired. "The work will not fill you, it will not warm you. All this will make the family, friends, your environment, - says the writer. - I do not blame the teachers at all. They are wonderful and just have to work like this. But this system is not for my family. I can not see how nervous my daughter is anymore, she lives in stress all the time - and this is in her 10 years! "In just a few days, the post Bunmi collected about 80 thousand likes, more than 20 thousand reposts. In the comments, the woman was supported not only by the mothers of the loaded schoolchildren, but also by child psychologists and even the teachers themselves. "I fully agree with you," school psychologist Eily Mulani writes to the woman. - In free time from school, children must remain children. Studies show that all these hours of homework do not affect the estimates. A break twice a day plus an adequate lunch time, games - that's what will make the learning process successful, and our children - happy. "" I'm from Finland. And yes, our homework is not allowed, - writes Katri Saarinen. - At the same time, the load is much less, and the school days are much shorter. And after each lesson, children go out to play on the street. "" I said no to my homework for my son, "Nancy Gardetto shares her experience. - And you know what? He successfully graduated this year. "Do you think you need homework?
